One More Time: What's Your Motive?

I keep coming back to this question. I keep asking it of others because I need to keep asking it of myself.

What's Your Motive?

Let's drill down some on this by asking the following questions:

• Why are you planing to do this?


• What's the reason behind your doing that?


• Why did you say yes (or no)?


• What's your motive for writing that letter?


• Why are you excited about this new opportunity?


• Why did you post that on your Facebook?


• Why did you tell that story?


• Why do you count the number of books you read each year?


• Why did you mention his or her name?


• What causes you to bring up that subject?
